| Function |
May bind free porphyrinogens that may be present in the cell and thus facilitate removal of these potentially toxic compound. Binds with a high affinity to one molecule of heme or porphyrins. It binds metalloporphyrins, free porphyrins and N- methylprotoporphyrin with similar affinities. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12413491}.
